Runtime Aware PR Verifier Catches Code Change Failures That Are Missed

By Tests, Static Analysis and AI Reviewers

NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 — Lightrun, the leader in software reliability, today announced the Runtime Aware PR Verifier, the first-ever solution to confirm how a new pull request (PR) will impact live production, before deployment.

Unlike tools that estimate risk based on how production code previously behaved, Lightrun collects live runtime data from the exact code paths the PR touches. It then simulates how the new code would behave in place of the old, before a single line is merged. Each PR receives a risk score from risky to safe, based on how the change behaves against live execution paths, dependency interactions, and real traffic. This catches failures that static analysis, test environments, and other AI reviewers miss.

The Runtime Aware PR Verifier goes beyond catching regressions. It reviews the original ticket and evaluates how the proposed change will impact the live runtime activity. That means every edge case, use case, and piece of requested functionality is confirmed in the implementation. Because the verification runs against real production behavior, it reduces both missed issues and false positives, ensuring that all requirements are met in the first deployment iteration, not the third.

“AI coding agents have removed the bottleneck on writing code; a backend engineer using Copilot or Claude Code can produce 10 times more PRs than they could two years ago,” said Or Golan, R&D Lead of Lightrun’s AI Labs. “However, with AI comes bugs, and the most dangerous bugs are those that pass code review, clear every test, and then quietly break existing functionality after deployment. Our Runtime Aware PR Verifier identifies these hidden issues by testing how the pull requests would actually behave in production, even when traditional testing shows no problems.”

The solution provides business benefits, including:

–          Fewer production incidents post-merge

–          Reduced MTTR (mean time to repair)

–          Lower cost of review and QA

–          Improved deployment frequency

–          Reduced cloud and data costs 

The Lightrun Runtime Aware PR Verifier delivers its findings natively in GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. This means that there is no need for developers to switch between platforms, and the entire team stays in context. For more information, visit https://lightrun.com/runtime-aware-pr/.

FPT and its distributors Bimotor and Avoni Industrial joined Green Power Systems to power one of North Africa’s largest agro-industrial projects, set to revolutionize powdered milk production in Algeria.
 

The project, worth $3.5 billion and cofounded by the Algerian National Investment Fund and Qatari dairy producer Baladna Q.P.S.C., involves the construction of one of the world’s largest integrated dairy farm and powdered milk facility, spanning 117,000 hectares of agricultural land, and designed to support 270,000 dairy cows.

Located in Algeria’s Adrar province, the agro-industrial facility is scheduled to start production in late 2027. Once fully operational, it expected to produce up to 100,000 tonnes of powdered milk per year, thus meeting about 50% of Algeria’s needs. Being in a Saharan region with temperatures often exceeding 40° C for over 130 days a year, the agricultural land meant to feed the dairy cows is at the center of a huge non-stop irrigation project in which the gensets provided by Green Power Systems and powered by FPT engines play a crucial role.

The FPT-powered Green Power Systems, in fact, support central pivot irrigation systems, a crop irrigation method in which the equipment rotates around a central pivot and crops are irrigated using sprinklers, thus creating circular irrigated area centered on the pivot. Less labor-intensive and more water-efficient, this irrigation method is particularly effective in large plots of arid land and can rapidly transform them into agriculturally productive zones.

“Green Power Systems’ participation in this project further confirms its role as a reliable international partner in the supply of power generation solutions for large-scale agro-industrial and infrastructure applications,” says Flavio Faggiolini, Export Area Manager for Green Power Systems. “In projects of this magnitude, power continuity is essential to ensure the proper functioning of the entire infrastructure. The collaboration with FPT Industrial contributed to delivering a solution aligned with the reliability requirements of the operational context.”

“Being part of a such a large-scale project, meant to improve Algeria’s food security and to create about 5,000 local jobs, is both a great honor and a great responsibility,” adds Vittorio Bertalli, Head of Sales EMEA at FPT. “But we are confident that our CURSOR 13 engines, together with hi-tech Green Power Systems products, will once again live up to the most demanding expectations”.
